Hello, folks. I have just returned from my ophthalmologist. I have been diagnosed with uveal melanoma. My doctor suggests surgery, but I am not sure. I would like to know if anyone had this kind of procedure before. I would appreciate if you could share some details with me. Bye, folks!

Hello. Surgery of uveal melanoma consists of wide local excision. Unlike other surgical procedures, this kind of procedure has the goal not only to remove the tumor, but also to prevent its new appearance. In a word, it prevents its relapses. Sometimes adjuvant treatment is required. By this, I mean immunotherapy or chemotherapy. You should discuss with your ophthalmologist about all your treatment options. I hope everything will be all right. Let me know what you decide. Good luck!
